Philosophy 102 - FYS: God, Morality, & Freedom

'This course will introduce students to philosophy and its methods by looking at what philosophers, past and present, have said about three important and interrelated topics: God, morality, and freedom. We will ask questions such as: Does God exist? Is it rational to believe in God? What should I do if I want to do the right thing? When is it ok to criticize other cultural practices? How much do I owe to others? Do we have free will? Can we ever be held responsible for anything? The hope is that students will emerge from this course better thinkers, better writers, and better equipped to tackle difficult questions like these with rigor and care.'

This course is limited to first-year students.
